Geriatricians’ role in the management of aortic stenosis in frail older patients: a decade later

Aim: The objective of this survey was to investigate geriatricians’ role in the management of older patients with aortic stenosis, over the last decade. Findings: Our results indicate that aortic stenosis is a common disease at older age and frequently coexists with geriatric syndromes. Nevertheless, geriatricians’ role in multidisciplinary assessment of aortic stenosis is scarce, similarly to what reported in a previous survey conducted a decade ago. Message: More efforts should be devoted to implement geriatricians’ involvement in aortic stenosis management and multidisciplinary heart teams.
